A few months ago, Google had a prototype of a feature for Translate called “Continuous Translation.” It was eventually showed off to the public in January, but now it’s finally ready for primetime. The feature is now called “Transcribe” and it will be rolling out to Google Translate for Android in the next few days.
In a nutshell, Transcribe allows you to record spoken words in one language and have them translated on your phone in real-time. The use cases for this are easy to see. You can translate your own speech, someone who is speaking to you, or hold it up to a computer speaker or TV. The translation happens without any processing delay.
This differs from Google Translate’s current transcription features that require you to input text or voice and then wait for a translation. Google says that “wasn’t well suited to listen to a longer translated discussion at a conference, a classroom lecture or a video of a lecture, a story from a grandparent, etc.”
Using the feature is pretty straightforward. When you open Google Translate for Android you’ll see a new “Transcribe” button under the text box. Tap this and you’ll be brought to the Listen page where you can select the languages. Just tap the mic icon to start listening or to pause translation. At launch, Transcribe supports English, French, German, Hindi, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Thai.
